About this episode

The episode explores historical venues in the UK connected to The Beatles, starting with the Tower Ballroom and others.

A couple of weeks back my daytime job took me to Wallasey, or more precisely New Brighton. Formerly the location of the Tower Ballroom, where The Beatles played 27 times during there formative years. Seeing the site of this long gone venue, got me thinking about other venues around the UK which have a Beatles connection. In this weeks episode we begin a new occasional series in which we deep dive into the back stories of these sites, some lost, while others are very much alive and working. In this weeks episode in the company of my co-host and producer Mark I tell the story of three venues. The Tower Ballroom, the Granada Walthamstow and the Empire Pool, Wembley.
